Neville Iregi - Software Engineer · Low-Level Systems · Cyber Security

Hey there! Welcome to my portfolio.

My name is Neville Iregi, a BSC.(Hons) Software Engineering student specializing in in low-level programming and security at African Leadership University.

My path into security started with cloud configs, IAM, and network hardening. But writing memory allocators in C, reverse-engineering binaries, and working through HackTheBox & TryHackMe labs pulled me toward the systems layer. That’s where I want to operate — understanding how things break at the lowest level, not just the application surface.

My focus areas

  • Offensive security — HackTheBox, TryHackMe, CloudGoat red-team scenarios (IAM escalation, Lambda injection, S3 enumeration), Cisco Ethical Hacker (completed)
  • Low-level systems — C programming, memory management, Linux internals, embedded systems (ESP32, Arduino)
  • Cloud & network security — AWS, Azure, Kubernetes (KCNA in progress), Docker, Terraform, Wireshark, tcpdump, firewall configuration, VLANs, CIS Benchmark hardening
  • Defensive Security - Getting into digital forensics & incident response, malware analysis, SOC operations
